Lazarus Strikes npm Again with New Wave of Malicious Packages
The Socket Research Team has discovered six new malicious npm packages linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, designed to steal credentials and deploy backdoors.
aws-session-management
Advanced tools
This package contains
AwsSessionManagement - handles AWS Session with AWS Temp credentials by Assuming a given Role it renews the temp credentials when needed This library helps keeping boto3 clients with the fresh aws temp credentials
Usage:
This example shows how to manage the AWSRequestAuth object with the fresh temp credentials These credentials will be automatically refreshed by the AwsSessionManamagement class
Using the following libraries:
import requests import aws_requests_auth (https://github.com/DavidMuller/aws-requests-auth)
def get_auth(self):
auth = None
if self.awsSessionManagement is not None:
aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, aws_session_token = self.awsSessionManagement.get_aws_credentials()
if aws_access_key_id is not None and aws_secret_access_key is not None and aws_session_token is not None:
logger.debug("got aws credentials, using for authentication")
auth = AWSRequestsAuth(aws_access_key=aws_access_key_id,
aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key,
aws_token=aws_session_token,
aws_host=f'{self.wmc_api_id}.execute-api.{self.wmc_api_region}.amazonaws.com',
aws_region=self.wmc_api_region,
aws_service='execute-api')
else:
logger.warning("ALL the retrieved aws credentials are None, not using authentication!")
return auth
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
json_data = {"a": 'a_value', "b": 'b_value'}
data = json.dumps(json_data)
response = requests.post(url=f"{self.api_gateway}/abc", auth=self.get_auth(), data=data, headers=headers)
OR Alternatively you can use AwsSessionManagement as follows:
def get_auth_request(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, aws_session_token, aws_host, aws_region, aws_service):
logger.info("creating/updating auth request ...")
auth = AWSRequestsAuth(aws_access_key=aws_access_key_id,
aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key,
aws_token=aws_session_token,
aws_host=aws_host,
aws_region=aws_region,
aws_service=aws_service)
logger.info("returning auth request")
return auth
awsSessionManagement = AwsSessionManagement(role_arn='roleArnValue',
external_id='externalIdValue',
func=get_auth_request,
func_params_dict={'aws_host': 'your_service_aws_host_name', 'aws_region': 'your_service_region', 'aws_service': 'your_aws_service_name'},
role_session_name="CurrentSession")
# For example:
# aws_host = f'{self.api_gateway_id}.execute-api.{self.api_gateway_region}.amazonaws.com'
# aws_region = 'eu-west-1'
# aws_service = 'execute-api'
# get the auth request object with the temp aws credentials
auth = awsSessionManagement.get_func_res()
headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'}
response = requests.get(f"{self.api_gateway_url}/abc", auth=auth, headers=headers)
